La Madre - An exhibition by Daniel Smith

Franklin Arts Centre from Franklin Arts Centre

La Madre
An Exhibtion by Daniel Smith
05 March - 25 March
Community Gallery

La Madre is a culmination of two years of creative inspiration. Explore the capabilities of scrap metal materials and delve into this showcase of creatures that capture the darker corners of the imagination.

Daniel Smith Artist Statement:

I sculpt from found items including cutlery, kitchen utensils and construction materials. Inspired by the forms of real animals and fish, I turn humble materials into creatures that might exist in a world a little creepier than our own. I illuminate many of my works to achieve a sinister imperfection as the light spills from cracks and crevices.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐ŸŒฒ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if itโ€™s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ›’

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

I think weโ€™ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!

So hereโ€™s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? Weโ€™d love to hear your thoughts!

Keen for an update? The Post has you covered
